Hey there September sleevers! Any one out there?



Recommended Posts

I just saw my surgeon on Friday... I scheduled all of my weight management classes (June, July, August) and I hope to scheduled for September!

Is this surreal to anyone else?

I also just seen my surgeon on Friday and have the rest of mine scheduled, July and August, I went to Junes same day I met with surgeon, how cool is that, we could possibly be scheduled for surgery around the same time as well

It was when I started in April. But seems so far away now for some reason. April 1st was the first of 6 month appointments and I am getting impatient. I know I'm half way there, but hate the wait. I also have to not start losing weight either because of a low bmi. But I don't lose easily. Lol

That is awesome! It's very surreal! I called to make my psych eval and was able to get an appointment tomorrow!!

Now if this tropical storm will just cooperate and stay away from Houston I will be excited!

I should go in Sept as well. I have BC/BS with no supervised diet window or weight loss required prior to surgery. I do have some work and family obligations though so Sept made the most sense with back to school and a big work commit out of the way. My doctor didn't think the timeframe would be a problem.

I can't even seem to wait until next Tuesday, I don't know how I am going to survive till September! hahahah!

What are you guys doing to prepare?

Stocking up on anything?

Every time I am at the store I pick up broth or a pack of Jello. I haven't gotten into any serious preparations yet.

Surreal is a good choice of words to describe it all.

Slow motion.

Just going to support meetings and a follow up at the end of the month. I'm just being asked to show consistency with what I'm doing to prove that I'm ready. I keep a food diary on myfitnesspal (MFP) and an exercise log on mapmywalk that I have to bring in this time. I haven't given much headspace to surgery yet. I'm just trying to take my time and focus on the work I have to do. Right now, I'm using MFP to teach myself how to eat - what foods I like, how much I can eat, how many calories, carbs, Protein, etc. everything has and how to stay within a daily calorie limit. I plan on using MFP long after surgery to help me stay on track.

I have not purchased any food yet... But I did buy a huge pack of bathroom size Dixie cups... I saw on Pinterest that they are a great way to measure 3oz. I thought it was a brilliant idea!

I am going to do your broth and Jello idea on my next grocery store round

September will be here before we know it!

I have been trying Protein Drinks too. And Protein bars too. Substituting for Breakfast. I didn't usually eat breakfast before. I've learned the tastiest drinks have 13g of sugar which isn't good too. Lol

I have tried boost high Protein, special k, and muscle milk. Muscle milk will be the winner because barely had sugar. Also bought a mix, but even in the blender, tasted awful.

I started doing Protein Shakes for breakfast yesterday and I am liking what I got so far. I also made my pysch eval and mine is going to be 3 hours. Is that normal? Got my Nut appt. next month, my 2nd weight mgt. supervision appt. is on the 26th and then I have 2 more left. Still need to do my sleep apnea study but things seem to be moving along :) I so hope I get approved after all of this!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
